It also has a digital interface which accurately shows the amount of charge, indicates low power and cleaning time.

You can either shave with it while dry or just use shaving foam.

The long backup hours are provided by the lithium-ion battery.

The travel case allows one to carry it easily to anywhere.

Pros

The 9700 series shaver has many advantages that make it one of the best.

A very cleaner and smoother shave is provided because the shaving heads are freely able to move in 8 different directions over the numerous curves on the face. During the process, it is able to collect 20 percent more facial hair.

30 percent closer shaves are available using this electric razor, and it produces the least amount of sound while operating compared to competitors or previous generation SensoTouch 3D shavers.

There is no need to worry about the grooming of the shaver after use because of Smart Clean Pro shaver cleaning system that does the work for you. So you are saving your time there.

It does not take very long to charge. With one full charge, you can carry out numerous periods of shaves before you have to plug it up again.

The shaver has a very fine build, quality and color, and provides a very firm grip while shaving.

Cons

On the other hand, the Norelco S9721/87 razor does have a few cons that might make you think twice about purchasing it.

The manufacturer’s List Price is around $350 (click here to see the current price on Amazon) which is a bucket lot more than its contemporaries. You have to pay a lot more extra and for this reason many would be trimming this off their lists.

You can only carry the shaver in the carrying case, and not the other accessories which come with it, such as the power cord or the cleaning cradle.

The Verdict

It is undoubtedly good shaver.

If you really want to buy this, but are stepping back due to the mammoth price tag, it is better if you go for the Philips Norelco S9311/84 (9300 Series). You will save around $100 and get all the important features except one – the 9300 model does not feature the Smart Clean Pro system.
